Detailed Document
Overview of Gene Research
Serpinb9, also known as Proteinase Inhibitor 9 (PI-9), is a well-known endogenous inhibitor of Granzyme B (GzmB) [3]. GzmB is a cytotoxic molecule secreted by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, and Serpinb9 acts as a protective mechanism against the potentially harmful effects of GzmB within immune system cells. It is involved in pathways related to immune responses, cell death regulation, and prevention of immunopathology [3]. Genetic models, especially KO mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions.
Genetic ablation of Serpinb9 in mice leads to the death of tumor cells in a granzyme B-dependent manner, and Sb9-deficient mice exhibit protective T cell-based host immunity to tumors, with a decline in GrB-expressing immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) [1]. In vivo CRISPR screens in mouse lung cancer models also recovered Serpinb9 as an immune evasion factor [2]. In addition, overexpression of Serpinb9 in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors is associated with immune escape, as it is inversely correlated with the number of tumor-infiltrating CD8-positive cells [4].
In conclusion, Serpinb9 plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and cell death. Gene-knockout mouse models have revealed its significance in tumor-immune interactions, especially in cancer immunotherapy resistance. Understanding Serpinb9's functions can potentially lead to new therapeutic strategies for cancers and other immune-related diseases.
